I have to say that I could not be happier with this tool. I haven't felt this good in years. My surgery took place June 17, 2003 with Dr. O'Malley in Rochester, NY. I have lost 68 pounds and have this new energy. I seem to be doing better with each passing day, learning and adjusting and trying to take advantage of this great opportunity to be healthy again. I have stopped the grazing and only eat my meals and no snacking, getting in my protein shake (pro score 100) and vitamins. I started really exercising this week and feeling even better, having more energy. Gone are the days of naps after work because I was so tired from the walk from my office to the car (one city block). I have this new love of life and want to spend as much time as I can with friends and family instead of my old friend "the couch" oh yes and "the tv". What I do find myself doing now when the food doesn't taste so great, I stop eating it, I no longer devour food I don't like. I do have to remind myself that I don't have to eat everyting on my plate and shouldn't, I read where some people only 2 or 3 oz. and I should probably cute back on quantity even if it is only good food I am eating. The friends I have made from my local support group have been godsends, they have given so much support I cannot thank them enough (Sherry Wittlinger). I so appreciate all the help I have received from Susan Maria and Sharon Neva and so many others, for answering my questions and giving advice, I cannot thank you all enough, and thank you Momma Angel for doing what we all should be doing but like myself, don't . And to Eric, you alone are a godsend, change the layout of the site everyday and I wouldn't care, I am just so happy that this one exists. To all of those who work so hard to make this site what it is, thank you, because of everyone, I will succeed in this journey and life will just keep getting better. God Bless and thank you all. I have submitted my pic and it should show up soon.
